Just to let you all know that series 1 to 3 are available from the BBC
and series 4 will be available shortly. I know that some people are
interested in the series (Karen in Malta). So I thought I'd post this
info.

Fascinating pictures. Lovely lace, done a bit differently, or at least from a
slightly different point of view. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm wondering
about the orange pricking card, which is used several times, as I thought we
used things on the pillow that were easy on the eyes, like
When Astrid Hansen's Femten Bredere: Tonderkniplinger came out, I
remember how surprised many of us were to find that the printed
prickings in the book were on red card! I thought it would be very hard
on the eyes. But apparently it was traditional in Tonder lace to use
this color card. A
I have used red contact paper before, and as I was told at the time,
found it to be quite easy to work with.
Still prefer blue or green.

In most parts of Spain red was the colour used for prickings. And continues
being. In other parts of Spain, yellow has been used, also green.
Nowadays, it seems that most lacers continue using red or orange. But I
myself use blue, as I find it more relaxing for my eyes. I started using
blue after
For as long as I can remember, in Spain have been used orange card
prickings. An especial thicker card (now practically disappeared) was
manufactured for working bobbin lace. Its thickness let the lacemakers
work several times the same pattern.
I don't know the reason for choosing this colour,
I printed a Lace-RXP Tønder pattern recently on deep pink card, and found
that the contrast between it, the gimp lines and the white thread (Egyptian
cotton 140/2) was much better than when using white card covered in blue
plastic. I was surprised as I had always used blue or green before (and
My understanding is that it is hard to copy prickings on red.
So to 'protect' the pattern and designer they published it on red.

I checked PBS Minnesota, and the series began late last year. From what I can
tell there were about 9 in a series listed, two of which were shown already.
I work at a band uniform company that deals with fabric, threads and
tailoring. Yes I do make use of odds and ends that I collect either for
tatting or bobbinlace. My wife and I also make costumes every year for the
HS musicals. So often go dumpster diving for fabric!

I can remember, many years ago, buying lots of Debbie Moller's patterns
(alphabets, initials et al) and they were very often printed on red paper.
I wondered at the time whether it was to stop illegal copying, as many
photocopiers at that time - we are talking about twenty years ago, if not
Hello everyone
One of my ladies brought in a name of a lacemaker and asked if I knew
her. I don`t but I know a group who might know her.
Her name is Catrion Mason who was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours List
in England, for services to lacemaking.
I enjoyed Larkrise to Candleford.
